[q] need help, earpiece speaker not working - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey, i have a uk htc hd2, i have had it since last march 2010, all has been good, no problems(love this phone),it running standard ROM 1.72.110.4, radio 2.15.50.02_2
my earpiece speaker has stopped working(was fine yesterday, now dead) i have done a quick panic search, i wondered if there is a test code, diagnostic menu to test the speaker? if its broken, can i replace it my self?
i just want my phone working again, as when i make a call ppl can hear me i cant hear them
any advise, help would be great guys
ps my case has a strong magnet clip that when closed rests over the earpiece speaker, could that have damaged it?

I encountered the same problem - calls connected OK - people could hear me - I couldn't hear them....
Phone was returned to Jersey Telecom for repair and I've just received it back after 7 weeks ! ! !
HTC Touch Pro2 loan phone drove me nuts !
Hope you get better service
Regards

hey, quick update found a replacement earpiece on ebay, from hong kong, i know could be risky
i did find a dis-assembly video on you tube, was going to post links but i ant allowed too newbie yet lol
still tempted to fix it myself, feeling brave
i still couldnt find a text code or menu for the earpiece to test it, anyone got any ideas?

no one able to help me out, bit disappointed

no theres no audio test codes/modes.
Before you start taking it apart, you have done a soft reset and a hard reset, right? (my external stopped working today, no obvious reason, but a soft reset fixed it)

hey, thanks for your reply samsamuel
i did do a soft reset, and a hard reset, but no luck sadly
after the hard reset, recovered to an earlier spb backup i had, but still......
i thought htc would have had a test mode etc, but if they dont, then i cant test to find out definitively if the earpiece is the issue
does anyone know a good site for spares(for earpiece). i can only find ebay and a part from hong kong, not sure if it will be as good at the oem earpiece.....

hey, not sure if its any help to anyone, but i replaced my ear-piece and my phone is sorted now just though i would update my progress.....
through a dis-assembly video i found on this forum, and the ear-piece coming from hong kong(off ebay), my phone is sorted
and its not all that difficult to repair
one tip, try use a small glass sucker, to help you remove the LCD screen/digitizer

Speaker Turns ON Automatically & No Sound

Hi Folks~
I have an XDA (QTEK 1010) had been working perfectly fine, until yesterday. After taking a call, when I tried to make a call I noticed the Speaker Phone activated automatically. I can't hear anything even the tried to play an MP3 from the Media Player but still didn't work.
Then I plugged in the Hands-Free, could listen to the Sound but the Mic seems to be have been disabled. (Even after plug-in of the Hands-Free, the Speakerphone still remains activated).
Pl. HELP !
Thanks !!
the manual say something about holding down the phone button turn the speaker phone on and off
Doesn't work, I've already tried it
Btw am using the following, pl. let me know if the ROM/Radio Stack Versions have to do something with it
DEVICE : QTEK 1010
Model No.: PW10A1
ROM Version: 3.18.04 ENG
ROM Date: 05/22/03
Radio Version: 3.25.00
Protocol Version: 32S54
Thanks !!
You could back up your data and try a hard reset, a bit drastic I know but its pretty useless as a phone at the moment.
Apologies for the Information in Bit & Pieces (am a newbie).
I've already checked after Soft & Hard Reset to the Device, the problem is still there.
Regards
This is exactly what happened to me back in November, after my little Xavier (an XDA) went for a swim in a flooded gutter.
I'll bet that if you go into the Wallaby BootLoader and try the diagnostics, it'll behave itself.
Unfortunately, the news was not good for me: $1500 to have it repaired.
"Liquid Ingression", they call it. *grumble*
I decided against it. My XDA still works as a soundless PDA (or, as it turns out, a hopelessly overpriced Universal Remote Control).

Can you guide me through ? How to run the diagnostics ?
Any help with the Diagnostics ?
I've tried over-writing the ROM, still didn't work ...

Thank you!
Let me try it out .. :arrow:
Still not working ..
Should I upgrade it to PPC2003 from the YOrk Kitchen ?? Will it help resolving the problem ?
I was thinking if it could be bcz of a loose connection inside the device (altough the device never fell down since I've got it).
Any help would be appreciated.

There's a good chance that it needs vendor support.
Take it back to the place you bought it... if you didn't drop it or get it wet, the warranty should cover it.
Hope this helps. Good luck!
The problem is that there is no Local Support for XDA in Pakistan yet ...
The Only Option I've got is to ship it internationally, which would be Expensive :roll:
Just tried Updating the Stack, didn't Work either .. Pretty Strange what else could happen.
If I attach a Hands-Free I get to hear the Sounds, but no Sounds on the Speaker .. person calling me can't hear me nor can I hear them. The Situtation is same I try to make a Call "Speaker Phone On" Pops-UP.
Though I tried to records the Recording, When I speak while the recoding on the playback just gives a huffing sound, no clear Audio.
Stuck with an Expensive XDA with No Phone & No Speaker Sound !!!
From the limited information provided to me by the repair centre, and looking over the details on xda-developers.com, I think your audio chip (or something related to it) may have fried. Mine was caused by water damage... a lot of water damage, at that...
Without the Sound, there's no charm in using it anyways ... bought a new Nokia 6600 a few days back and am using it ... now waiting for the Battery to be drained & when re-charged expecting a miracle to happen
I hope it works again !! I love the XDA !
Guess What .. the XDA is working perfectly fine now.
The only thing I did was to place it in my Drawer for a couple of Days .. Keeping it outta my Sight )
Miracles do happen ;-)
I have this problem now... Although it has not got wet?? Exact same as described as above...
Although in bootloader diagnostics the mic/speaker work fine. When booted in to windows I get the speaker phone coming on automatically, and no sound
Guys,
This problem drives me crazy constantly. The only explanation I found (by empirical approach) as follows:
My XDA works fine always except at winter, when I stay outside, and the XDA surface covered with steam condensate because of temperature differences. Condensate may not be seen visually, but some electronics inside has short circuit or changes in chains resistance which cause XDA to think that ‘speakerphone mode’ is on and misbehave.
To resolve this problem I just keep XDA in the worm place (like stay in apartment) for 30 min and / or plug it to charger which bring XDA to normal mode (by warming it up and thus removing steam condensate). No other ways found so far.
Regards, Andrey
Let me know if you know how to resolve it once and forever (do not advice me to thru it out :wink: )
This solution doesn't work for me
Amazing.. I've tried banging my XDA off of my desk, sticking all sorts of crap in the headphone socket (at this point, I didn't really care if I broke it more lol)... nothing worked..
Then just now, I thought.. hm.. I'll just blow as hard as I can in the little hole... I did this for a good five minutes.. and it now works

[Q] Phone speaker not working

Dear all, my Dell Streak phone speaker is not working. But if i turn on the loud speaker or attach bluetooth/hands free device works well.
I already tried to replace the recovery & rom with stock 322, 345, DJ Steve 1.7.0, 1.9.0, but non of it solve the problem.
Is it due to software problem or hardware problem? How can i check it?
FYI, my DS is never fall to the ground and water.
Can anyone help this poor man?
Thanks before.
Hi Marketblack,
same problem with me, because of my loyalty to DELL STREAK,until now i'm still using DS eventhough every outgoing call or receive call use loadspeaker.
Sometimes my speaker back to normal but that conditions temporary only

Wow, I am almost afraid to root my Streak if this type of issue might occur.
so what should i do rico???
if i've return back to DS service centre at my country, it takes 14 days to repair
Same problem for me.Suddenly stopped working.Only external speaker and hands free works.i have 2.2.2 and the device is with factory settings since i am not familiar with root/flash techniques.If someone knows something about how to fix it it would be nice.In any case,i have already ordered a bluetooth set
I just got my second Dell Streak today. it was shipped to me as 2.2...i ve put my sim, battery and charger and it has asked me to update. now i got 2.2.2. I have tried to make a phone call but, as the same for you guys, my earpiece is not working. BT and speaker phone works well though...
The first streak i had wasnt great either. it always displayed "please send dsp.crash.img to RD" right after an FC on an app that uses sound...this only happens when sounds are used. apps that do not have sound, like browser and messaging, do not trigger the FC. im not sure if you have experienced this too, i hope not.
i think im just not lucky with streaks... im not sure if my warranty will cover a third replacement...
with the second streak problem, im thinking maybe its a hardware fault? like the contacts in the earpiece are loose from the circuit board... i would have done this already if i wasnt afraid of losing my warranty..
it would be great of someone at xda can come up with a solution.

Mic on phone not working. Help please?

Hi.
The mic on my phone has stopped working so no one can here me now during a phone call. I've tried a factory reset and re-installing my current rom checkrom v6. Still the problem is there.
It seems to me to be a hardware problem. My niece dropped my phone onto a dinner plate and got tomato sauce on it. Not a lot but some of it got into the speaker and micro usb port. I cleaned it immediately but looks like it's caused some damage.
Can anyone offer me a solution to this problem.
I'm thinking I'll need to replace the mic on the phone. Can anyone link me to a guide on how to do this? I'll probably replace the usb port as I've had issues with that for ages now.
Thanks
If you are not a person who is able to fix phones and such then I'd advise you to simply send the phone back to your carrier and tell them to fix it. (if you've still got your warranty)
Unlucky :/ Maybe next time don't let your niece near the phone within a 5 mile radius?
Have a good day and good luck with the phone :]

I'm on pay as you go and I bought the phone second hand about 7 month ago so sending it back not really an option.
Just to update, when I turn on the speaker function when in call the mic works fine.

I believe the part for the USB port will have the lower mic attached anyways. I think you're looking for part number GH59-10949A. You can find service manuals for various Samsung phones on www.samfirmware.com. But you'll need to register on that site (it's free) to download them. Passwords on the archive files are "samfirmware.com".

That's because the speakerphone function uses the top mic, not the bottom mic.

Got part delivered and fitted it today. Everything working fine now. USB problem I've been having for a while fixed as well.
Only problem I encountered was one of the screw heads was worn away. Had to drill it out but got their in the end.

Glad you got it worked out.
If you're interested, to help with protecting my USB port, I ordered some of these. They come 3 covers per order.
(I am in no way affiliated with this company...)
I decided it was prudent after reading all the horror stories on the forums about USB ports failing/overvoltage warnings/computers not detecting/chargers not registering.

[Q] Speaker issue

Guys, I REALLY need some help here and I'm desperate. I'll give you some background info here. About 3 months ago I bought a used Transformer Prime, at the time I bought it I didn't realize it had CM9 on it, I didn't check out the tablet out enough. Now I'm not into rooting or flashing ROM's AT ALL...I couldn't care less about this stuff, just give me a product that works in stock form and I'll be happy. Now here's the problem, the speaker sounds like complete ass. I don't know if it's a hardware issue or if it's just an issue with CM9. Has anyone experienced an issue like that with flashing a ROM? I gave the tablet to a friend because "he knows everything" and jerked me around for 3 months with it, didn't even touch it so I'm on my own. I just don't want to go through the hassle of replacing a speaker that might now be damaged when it's a software problem.
I guess I need to know if it's possible that it's a software issue. The speaker volume is extremely low and very muddled. I have a feeling it's the speaker but I don't know. I don't know about enough of this stuff and no one wants to touch a tablet, for some reason if it was a phone the shops around here would be happy to help.
I might just sell this thing and take a huge loss and never cheap out on buying a used product.
Thanks guys.

Headphones partially not working - not a hardware issue

Hey fellas,
so I recently got a used S6 Edge and there was a problem whenever I used headphones. The left earbud works fine but there is hardly any sound coming out of the right one(checked with several headphones, its a phone issue), really just minimal, very very quiet. I naturally figured this was a hardware error so I went to my local phone repair guy and had that part replaced.
Now, unfortunately the problem still isn't solved. With the new replacement it has gotten a little bit better, but the right earbud is still a lot quieter than the left one. So the repair guy said its a software issue.
Do you guys know anything about that?
I'm not rooted and on the official 5.1.1. Just tried factory resetting but that didn't really help. Any suggestions or anything I can look into that might solve this issue, be it rooted or not?
Cheers
push; anybody?
one last desperate try?
